BC DotNet file/directory functions - access denied

hubi777

Hello,

i am using BC OnPrem 18 (Cronus database) for testing.
At this time, i want to translate some file/directory code from NAV2013 to BC180 and got "access denied" errors.

C/AL: I can search all directories with dotnet „mscorelib“ functions without any problems.
AL: I can only search local but no external directories.

I think the problem seems to be the service user who searches the directories.
Can i change the behavior that BC uses the windows user for file actions?

dotnet
{
assembly(mscorlib)
{
type("System.Object"; Object) { }
type("System.IO.Directory"; IODirectory) { }
}
}

codeunit 50200 SearchData
{
:
var
FD_Object: DotNet Object;
FD_Dir: DotNet IODirectory;
NavDir: Text;

begin
NavDir := '\\fserver\data\';
FD_Object := FD_Verzeichnis.GetFiles(NavDir, '*.pdf');
:
end;
}

Thanks

The service account that you start the NST must have access to that folder.
The client isn't handle that anymore because it is the webclient.

So if you give the NST user access to the folder it will be OK I think.

Yes please make sure your Service Account has all the permissions, normally this is what I do I use to make the Service Account user as an admin.
